“An exhibit-turned-book reflects on rising tides and lost history. Two lifetimes spent on the open water are behind Ghost Horizons, a new book from Naples artist Andy Owen and fourth-generation fisher and local poet Chanda Jamieson. The collaboration began in 2024 with exhibitions at BIG ARTS and Arts Bonita. As the pair assembled their works—Andy’s haunting, high-contrast solar plates, woodcuts and prints paired with Chanda’s resonant stanzas—they watched Round Key slip beneath the rising tides. The resulting exhibit, Ghost Horizons, captured the slow and steady loss, honoring our coastal landscapes while reckoning with devastation from hurricanes and human interference.    

Now assembled into a 75-page book by Florida Gulf Coast University, Ghost Horizons serves at once as a love letter and a call to protect what makes our region unique. The book honors Andy, who passed away in June following a sudden cancer diagnosis and is the final word from a man whose work speaks for itself.”
